B. Shows the increased force applied to one side of the socket in the case of an obliquely standing tooth, leading to prematureloosening. The disadvantages of leaving a root under aplate are— (a) the liability of the root to decay and to become septic; (b) the constant tendency of the root to be extruded, causing the plate in time torock upon it; (c) the increased liabiUty of the artificial tooth
